David Cameron is the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, having accepted the position on 11 May 2010. His Cabinet has not been formally announced yet, but will consist of a coalition arrangement between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats.

The Cabinet

The Cabinet is yet to be fully formed, but the Conservative Party is the biggest party and will form a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats after no party received a majority vote in the May 2010 General Election, which resulted in a hung parliament.

Parliament is currently in recess, but will be recalled on 18 May for the swearing in of the Members of Parliament and to hold the election for the Speakership, all to be held before the Queen's Speech on 25 May during which time the Government's agenda will be set out.

Inaugural Cabinet (11 May 2010 onwards)

This list includes non-Cabinet-level posts which, under the previous government, were permitted to attend Cabinet.
